A new video shows Gilberry, who plays for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, sitting in the backseat of a Rolls-Royce Phantom with one of the combatants, Alan Belcher.

In the video, Gilberry said if Michael "The Count" Bisping can knock out Belcher in the first round of their Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight bout in Newark, N.J., on April 27, then Bisping can have the $300,000 automobile. Gilberry called on Bisping to put up something of equal value for his part of the bet.

Gilberry's involvement follows a boast by Bisping that he would knock out Belcher in the first round and was willing to bet anything that he would do it.

That prompted Belcher to offer Bisping a bet: If Belcher lost by a first-round knockout, he would get a British flag with Bisping's face on it tattooed on his chest. But if Bisping couldn't back up his bravado, then he'd have to get a Johnny Cash tattoo like the one Belcher has on his left arm.

Gilberry is scheduled to serve as one of the celebrity team captains while playing golf in Ken Stabler's XOXO Invitational at Lakewood in Point Clear on Friday and Saturday. The golf tournament serves as a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mobile.
